Xbox gamers

Okay so ladies, I have a question. Me and my boyfriend have been dating for only a year so things have been great but here and there are a little bit of arguments but for the most time good. The only downside his he’s always playing the Xbox. Here me out, I love that he does , but not constantly 24/7. He’s the type he says it helps him take his mind off things like a cigarette or alcohol would someone else. Which I get that a lot. Yesterday we were talking on the phone and lots of times he says things that I take in the wrong way. But I was asking him what he was doing he said “I’m trying to play the game baby and also get off the phone with you” and it honestly hurt my feelings. Basically he’s a truck driver so when he’s not driving he’s playing the game. But everytime I wanna call he’s playing call of duty or when I do call he’s still playing the game.

What do you all think I should do? It’s at the point that I can’t even talk to him bc it’s annoyingly. But I’m trying to be understanding but what he said yesterday hurt my feelings. Yes he apologized but that’s not the point. He said what he said and he meant it.
